Interlude ~ Freo

I'm sitting at my desk in Broome in the evening, the windows are all open, the ceiling fans cranking, an army of insects creaking outside and occasional dog barks or mysterious bird noises.  I'm thinking: how did I get so far behind with this blog?  Oh that's right... we have a baby.

Don't fear!  I'll be filling you in on our recent travels, and even occasional posts about family life in Broome.

So where was I up to?  That's right - Freo.

We had a couple of Perth days planned for shopping and exploring and working out where to come back to, and had booked ourselves into a campground near Fremantle.  We loved it!  I'd have to say it's now my favourite urban enclave in the whole country.  For those east coasters who haven't had the pleasure, imagine all of the good bits of West End, Newtown, Glebe, or Fitzroy, then multiply them, make them a little less busy and take out all the "we're way too hip for you people attitude".  Take the result of this, stick it by the sea, and you have Freo.

We'll be back.

Photos:
~ at Bread in Common:  what could make an amazing lunch into a perfect one?  Having this little cherub quietly drift herself off to sleep in my lap for the first (possibly last) time ever.
~ out the front of Oootong and Lincoln: the most photogenic of all the great cafes we checked out.
